A video of a  crow collecting garbage and throwing it in the dustbin has gone viral on the internet with many people calling the bird ‘intelligent and awesome.’

The 38-second video was shared by Susanta Nanda, an Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer from Odisha. It shows the crow picking up the garbage, one by one with its beak and throwing it in the dustbin kept nearby. The crow managed to clean the area completely.

Below are some of the responses to the video:

Sir, now a days crows becoming intelligent or all this videos are of trained crow get viral(drinking water from water tap) etc.
It forces me to think whether they are natural or trained crow.

They care , they can pause for a while to clean where they live, coz they know if they dont they would be leaving this world.
we as humans have failed to clean our surrounding.

Swach Bharat is an inspiration ..Why politics in this too?? I wish Gandhiji and Nehru at the time of partition knew how to keep Bharat swach.
